Horror in the High Desert is a 2021 American found footage film written, produced, and directed by Dutch Marich. Combining pseudo-documentary elements with traditional found footage, the film follows the mysterious 2017 disappearance of amateur hiker Gary Hinge in Nevada's High Desert.

Shot during the COVID-19 pandemic using socially distanced Zoom interviews and reconstructions, the film has developed a cult following on video-on-demand platforms despite receiving mixed reviews.
